elect placed by the people to he representa-
tiveS of Minnesota Democracy and exponents
OF Democratic principles in national, legisa-
tive and executive halls; with powerful, Ca
paole and earnest minority in the halls of
state legislation and with 1000 Democratic
electors in the state watching and spurring
you on and up to the performance of some
long neglected duties, and holding you in
their hands as hostages.
To-day you have named as your candidate
for senator of the United States a man
claimed to be your most chivalrous gentle
man, eloquent speaker, advanced scholar and
astute statesman.
We eoncede this claim and we greet him as
''foeman worth, OF our STEEL
words are the daughters of earth;
Deeds are the sons OF heaven
The man whom shall name is one whose
private and public record are alike stainless
man whose deeds are eloquent.
man of wide and varied knowledge of
men and affairs, private and public.
A man who in affairs of state has ever
proved honest, capable and intensely unset
fish.
a man the wisdom of whose political ae-
ton and leadership is proven by that crucial
teSt-reSultS.
We have in our ranks many honored names;
names OF men whom we admire, respect and
love for their faithful aud loyal service to
principle. For many years outnumbered,
eluded and repulSed, but never discouraged
Or defeated, they have marched in the front
rank of many folorn hope. Their victory
and reward shall come when we reach our
AppomattoX.
We could mention many names of those in
our ranks who are fitted to adorn md i'll m ne
the exalted station for which we now nomiu-
ate, but no iustre can blind US to the bright
ness of the ner Us and claims of the man who,
more than any other man, has stood on guard
and kept alive the fires upon our affairs, and
we name for the post Of honor in this our last
charge as a folorn hope the name of Michael
Doran.
So we'll worded an eul0gy left but little
further to say. Loud and long applause
followed. most of the Republicans con-
trbuting to its spontaneous enthusiasm.

BOWEN EXPLAINS.
When Mr.. Bowens name was called he
arose and explained his vote and position
by this short speech:
Mr.. President: In casting my vote desire
to offer W ,rd or two in connection, which,
although 1t may OF no interest or concern
to those present or TO the public generally, is
due to those who have been associated with
me and who have so deyotedly stood by me in
the past
have on some occasions offered objections,
In my humble way, to the course pursued By
the part in this state to which belong For
the future, as in the past, [ reserve the right
TO criticise fire fly and fearlesSly any step on
the part OF our e tders W ch is, in my opinion,
detrimental t. the wena. t or destructive of
the good name of Denocrac But in advis-
ing any particular line of party policy have
not been actuated by any personal consider
atoms; / have not been inspired by personal
malice toward ans man.
y few days ago the Democratic members of
the legislature met to choose suitable per-
son to be nominated for the office of United
states senator made my protest then and
there-it was the proper place tG make it:
that protest and the action of that meeting
concerns no one but those present and their
party friends.
My judgment was overruled by the ma
jority. / do not wish to be recorded as ques-
tioning the Judgment OF that majority, or de-
grading my former attitude by taking step
now which can bear no other construction
than that of personal i'll will, and therefore
cast nv vote for Mr.. Doran.
Secretary Gu ter called the list of those
voting for Mr.. Davis and was handing the
roll call to Lieut.. Gov. Rice, when Mr..
Pope arose and inquired II should like
to hear the roll of honor that voted for Mr.
Doran." Amid laughter and applause the
roll of honor" was called. The lieutenant
governor announced the result and on Sen
ator Wards motion the senate adjourned
until 10 a. H. to-day
